Woollahra News

While the city was in a COVID-induced halt, behind the scenes at the Woollahra Council, we have been building, creating and curating a whole variety of new experiences for you to enjoy. Now that warmer weather is here, it’s the perfect chance to get out (in a COVID-safe way of course) to explore these new spots in our local area.

Council has completed works on a number pedestrian crossings around the LGA to improve safety for pedestrians.

Ever wondered if aerosol cans can be recycled? What about pizza boxes? To celebrate National Recycling Week 8-14 November, we addressed some of the most common questions about recycling.

Councillor Susan Wynne has been re-elected as the Mayor of Woollahra and Councillor Richard Shields has been re-elected as Deputy Mayor.

As a participating Council in the Resilient Sydney program, we are collaborating with all the Councils of Sydney to promote the Get Prepared app.

Work up a sweat at the new fitness station at Christison Park, or go for a slow stroll along the new Gap Park Historic Tramway accessible pathway.

You might be surprised by some of the food items you can put in your green bin; like seafood, meat bones and dairy. Most people wouldn’t include these in their home compost or worm farms, which is why our Kitchen to Compost service is such a great value add, even if you are already composting at home.

We’re eagerly awaiting the chance to welcome visitors into our new Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf in Double Bay. Find out what you can expect to see in the Gallery when it opens later in the year.
